Correction: The lyrics as sung by Carly Simon are "Anticipation, anticipation is makin' me late, it's keepin' me waitin'" (but I don't know if the words were written that way by Simon). Actually, "it's" might not be right either; on the recording, all that's pronounced in the first chorus is an "s" sound, so I don't know if that is an "is", an "it's" or an " 's ".
